NEW YORK HERALD.
Mew loik, Widiir?duy, Apill VU, l?45,
New* fjr Kiiropr.
The " Caledonia" nails from tf oston to-morrow.
Letter bags for her will close in this city at half
past 4 o'clock this afternoon.
An evening edition *f the Herald, containing ilie
latest news from all parts of ttds continent, with a
great variety of political, commercial and theatri
cal intelligence, will be ready at three o'clock, P.M.
0O- We understand '.hat preparations are in pro
gress in this city for a great public meeting of the
citizens, irrespective of party distinctions, for the
purpose of expressing the opinion ol the metropolis
on the present state of the foreign relations of the
United States, as recently developed in the news
from England, Mexico, Texas and the Brazils.
Oar Foreign Halations?Popular Opinion.
The extraordinary and interesting position of
the United States in relation to England?to Mexi
co?to Texas?to the Brazils, but particularly in
regard to our relations with England, is beginning
to excite popular sympathy, and popular Bentiment,
and popular impulses throughout the whole land.
We are certainly in the midst oi a stirring time.
Diplomatists and special messengers are flying
about in all directions?some across the contiuent
some across the Atlantic?som* here nnd some
there. An important public meeting has also been
oalled in Philadelphia, and will be held on the
oid site of revolutionary sentiment and action in
that city, for the purpose of expressing the public
opinion orthe people of that city on the Oregon
question, as it has been presented by the inaugural
of President Polk, and the declarations of the
British ministry in both Houses of Parliament.
Thus it will appear that every week?nay, every
day, some new intelligence is coming to us from
these various countries, whose relations with us
are in a very critical and interesting condition.
Texas is already in a state of great excitement on
the subject of annexation. It i? generally given
out that her official classes, from the President
down, are opposed to annexation, unless some spe
cial advantages accrue to them. It is also stated
that Mr. Ashbel Smith, the Secretary of State of
that Republic, has arrived in this city, on his way
to Boston, Liverpool, and London, in order to open
fresh negotiations with England and other Euro
pean powers, and to see what new conditions they
may procure for Texas, provided she remain inde
pendent and reluse annexation to this country. On
the other hand we have every reason to believe
that the people of Texas are so bent on being an
nexed to this country, both as a matter of feeling
nnd of Belf-interest, that they will produce a revo
lation at once, if necessary, in order to accom
plish it and destroy the influence nud power o*
their own government if it should impede the at
tainment of their desires in this important mat
ter.
On the other hand the position of Mexico is be
coming more and more interesting every day.
Every fresh development seems to indicate that
there is come deep and settled policy in con
nexion wi;h the European monarchies now
going on in that rtgion. We do rot believe
that Mexico, if ft to herself, and uninfluenced by
Eurnpeau diplomacy, would ever have made any
serious objections to the onnexation of Texas, or
ventured on anything like an interruption of her
commercial tad diplomatic intercourse with this
country. There cannot be any doubt that Mexico
is instigated by the European powers, through
secret agents, and none so likely as British
agents, for the purpose of throwing obstacles
in the way of the settlement of the Oregon
question, so fur as the interests of the United States
?re concerned. By the latr3t and most authentic
intelligence from Mexico, it would eppeer that an
op?n war with this country is. indeed, seriously
contemplated. Well, if it is to be so, let it come.
In the meantime, what is doing by our country,
in relation to all these important matters, and what
do the government intend to do in the midst of
these complicated and menacing difficulties 7 The
people of Philadelphia,and also in this city, as we can
hear at every street-corner, are beginning to agitate
on this subject, and particularly in relation to the
tone assumed by the British government in the two
Houses of Parliament. Ia a few weeks, we have
no doubt the whole country will be like a prairie
on fire on the Oregon question and our relations
with England. If it be ascertained, as is highly
probable, that England is now stimulating Mexico
to assume her present belligerent attitude, a feeling
of indignation and excitement throughout the
country will be produced, which will be over
whelming, and paralleled by nothing but
what has been seen only twice, and that
was during the war of the revolution, and
in the war of 1812. The spark has caught. It
only remains for the press to record the popular
movements throughout the country. The great
meeting in Philadelphia will be the first intimation
of popular sentiment, and no doubt that example
will be followed by all the other large cities.
What, then, is the government to do 1 What
does Mr. Polk mean 1 What ia the Cabinet about 1
Heretofore they have been drivelling away their
time in rquabbles about petty removals and ap
pointments, throughout the land; In deliberating
on the awfully important matter of a government
organ at Washington?what it wss to be called?
who was to conduct it?and how it was to be ar
ranged,?as if the destiny of the republic depended
on any of these miserable abortions called Wash
ington newspapers! It is time for the President
and his Cabinet to start from their lethargy. Let
thst?i awake to the importance and the duties of
the crisis in tne progress of civilization and liberty
in which this country has now been placed. Let
them see to it, that they adopt, without a mo
ment's further delay, such a course of action as
will best support and carry out those great princi
ples which lie at the foundations of the government,
and which triumphed so gloriously in 1776
Managers IIal* and 11 am bun.?The Rev.
Manager Hale preaches a little sermon to Manager
Hamblin on the subject of theatricals?conflagra
tions?special dispensations of Providence?popu
lar sympathy for the distressed?virtue and morali
ty in general?and a variety of ot^er mbjects " too
tedious to mention," as the auctioneers say. It is,
however, very amusing?very rich?and very char
acteristic. To see Manager Hale reading Man
ager Hamblin a lecture about the morality of pub
lic exhibitions for the amusement of ihe communi
ty is, indeed, funny in an excruciating decree. No
doubt scenes have been perpetrated within the
walls of ihe Bowery Theatre which hurt better
linve been left undone, but really we do not believe
that the two Managers, in point of public mora s,
present much difference. Theatrical exhibitions
at the Bowery at u shilling, end laughing gas and
negro serenaders at the Tabernacle at twenty-five
cenis a hesd, were, we opine, pretty much on a per
in the scale of iniquity, in which Manager Hale
gives such a terrible balance to Mauuger Hmnblin
It is, however, vcrv true that ia one rcspcct
Manager Hale has an advantage over Manager
Hamblin. The latter shuts np hie theatre on ihe
W&bbath, but the former keeps hi* open, and hires
a clergyman to preach and to ;r*y, whilst the
manager wipes his month with a white pocket
handkerchief, and turning up the whites of his
eyw and the browns of hi3 hands, thanks Go! that
he ia not as other men or even as this publican,
Hamblin- Before an indiscriminntii g public, Mana
ger Hale may thuj have some advantage. Hypo
critical prof'-aeions nuke a very good coat and
pair of breeches fortius world's wear; but they
don't go for much in that place where all the mock
piety that has ever inaulted Heaven within the
walls of the Taberoacle, or in the Journal of
Commtrit, wouldn't purchase se much aa one drop
ot water to cool a blistered tongue

Madams Otto's Complimentary Concert.?This
lorig talked of atiiir came ol last evening to an
elegant and crowded house. We seldom have

that presented a more interesting and a more
entertaining array of musical gems than those
which gave last night so much delight. Madame
Otto, the worthy object of the benefit? worthy
tnrough hsr musical excellence, but still more
through her disinterestedness, kindness, and chari
table disposition, which alwaya are found in con
nection with real merit?acquitted herself of her
happily selected pieces with a skill and grace
which deserve the highest eulogy The voluble
cavalina, from Betley, a severe test of vocal capa
city, she gave with an ease nud aplomb vouching
amply for study and taste, aa well as her web
known Tyrolienne, of which the public are eo
fond. Universal applause, and a beautiful wreath
of fresh flowers were her reward. Pico la-diva,
whom Boston and Philadelphia have very reluc
tantly restored to us, volunteered the charm of her
great talent, which never shone to greater
advantage- Mary Taylor, "by the kind permission
r W*"larn Mitchell," sung two airs with
much fe<ling and skill. Madame Burkhardt who
made all the could of an air, that is anything bu<
grateful tor the Biuger, and a Promising, new and
lovely debutante, Miss "Windmiller, whose neat ta
lent shone through the veil of great fright, lent their
kind assistance. Da Begnis and Sanquirico wrrr
encored, and very deservedly too, in the Duo Buffo
from4Coccia s Carlotta. Mr. Mayer sung ihe tor
tita from Lucia, with much lire. Iiapetti, Grone

We were, by chance, upon the gr< at tquarc at the time,
and we witnessed a spectacle not easily forgotten. In
an instant the multitude, hut .1 moment previous tranquil
and listle.s, were upon their knees, praying to the Al
mighty, and counting, with tnxiety, the shocks, which
threatened to convert the mast beautiful citv In the New
World into a vast theatre oi ruins. The chains surround
ing the poitico wtie violent y ogi'ate.l; the flags oi the
puv< ment J aw nod opt-n ; the trees bent frightfully; the
buildings and lo ty etiificea oscillated to and fro j the im
mense arrow, which crowns the summit of the cathedr.l,
vibrated with astonishing rapidity. At 60 minutes pat.i
three the movement had ceased.
It is impossible yet to ascertain the extent of destruc
tion. Not a house or door but bears theuiaiks of this
lernhle calamity. Many of them art cracked and great
ly injured, others lire toiterirg, and others entirely fallen.
San Lorerz?, La Mis* ricordiu, Tompeate, 7. >po, ana Vic
toria streets and the Grand street have particularly ?uf
fered. The aqueduct* were broken in several places.
The l'iidgv-of Tezontlaie is demolished. The Hospital if
Saiut L v/.orus is in ruins, and the churches of San Lo
rtnzo and San Ferdinand are greatly injured. The mag
nificent Chanel of Saiut Teresa no longer exists. At tho
fiist shock the cupola, a building of astonishing strength
and great beauty fell, and was toon followed by the vault
beneath the ttb-. rnacle, and the tabernacle itself.
Fortunately all those In a church to much frequented,
succeeded in escaping At eight o'clock last evening,
stventeen persoas bad ocen taken from the 1 uins of other
buildings, and carried to the Horpital.
At three-q'iartira past six, an-1 a quaiter past seven,
two more shocks were felt. Tlrey were, howaver,
slight, and occasioned nothing but a temporary renewal
of terror.
The authorities did every thing that zeil and humroity
could suggest, to carry help to the victims, and restore
the aq'iedacts which luinUh water to the city.
The Bee further state*, that the "public Journals com
ment very frealy upon this correspondence. The Diario
recommend* peace and internal tranquility aa the sole
mean* of recovering the territory usurped by the North
Americana." The Monitor i* astonish1"] at the backward
ness 01 the government, in not making an immediate
declaration of war upon tha United States It adds that it
has been informed that troops have already gone towards
1'exas, and advises the government to furnish them with
resources for the campaign The Hintrva censures the
Ministry for their conduct upon the Texas question,
and calls lor explanations with resprct to the departure
of an English frigate from Galveston, with or*rturc* to
?he Government of Texas. The Vox del Pvtblo assails
the Ministry, accusing them of incapacity, and declaring
that before undertaking a war upon Texas, they should
employ proper measures for saving the Californias fiom
iheanirchy which threatens to destroy and ruin that
rich and v?t portion ol the Republic.
The papers literally teem with articles upon Texas,
showing that the public mltd in that quarter is deeply ex
cited upon the subject, and probably ripe lor extreme
measures. The Diario dt Vera Cruz is one of the few
moderate prints in the Republic, and that journal ob
terves that though sincerely and ardontly desiring peace,
it can scarcely see how it is to be preserved

sJFrom the tone ol the Mexican prints, ond from official
communications made by one depar:ment of state to ano
ther, wo entertain no doubt that the Mexican government
lots really intend something like an overt act of hostility
towards this country. Tho only question with it now la
time. For example, the Minister ol Foreign Relations in
a document sent to the Legislature on the 31 instant, de
clares that annexvion must inevitably bring on war.
Though Mexico might, without any loss of digniiy, yield
u reluctant assent to the independence of Ttxua, yet sl*e
could not submit in silence without a po*it>ve loss oi

He lay a [great stress on the probade interference ol France
and Ktiglend to prevent a consummation of this measure,
'ram a determination they have evinced tooproaeany
furih? r increase oi territory ol that republic. From this
we should he inclined to believe that the Mexicnn gov
^rnmeai is anxious to receive intelligence from Kurope
previously to committing itseif, by a formal declaration
of war.

Numerous other mode* of imposition on the poor emigrant
h-.d at*o attracted the a;'.entlcn of the Emigrant Society,
and he hoped that it would ultimately be the mean* of
putting t>n end to auch traud* Indeed, alieady theao
grievances were every d.iy <. iminithing, and thb abuse
ha* naturally decreased, and tiioiie who have kept houtea
of good character have met with eveiy encouiagemeut
from the Society. There was alio another great evil to
be complaint d of. Last spring an ordinance waa passed
by the Common Council appropriating a dock excluaively
to the landing ol emit runt* 1hi* ston proved very *ati*
facfory, but, by some intrigue or bid manegement, the
dock was ent:utted to hand* entirely unfit lor the tru*t.
In conscqutncc of this circumstacce, not only wore all
the bent li s u hi-h might n<tuinlly be wxpected from such
an arrangement pi evented, but the exer ions cf the com
mittee had heen employed to prev< nt the matter troin
being a souico ot co. ruption and abuse | and ho trusted
that they uoul ? bo able, with the concurrence of the
British Emigration Society, to place the dock in suitable
hamU, and prevent the occurrence of evil* coraplaind
of last y?iar. Heie the Chairman resumed his teat amidst
great applause.
The Secretary then read the report of the Committee,
da.ed lO'.h June, 1943, which was adopted, and also the
anunal report ot the Comm.ttee for the present time,
wh ch was likewise adopted.
The re)K>rt ofthcExecu.ive Committee wss al*o re<d,
on which they co: gratulate with the menibeis of the
Irfrh Emigrant Society, on the continued prosperity ef
the Institution.
Several other rt ports of a similar nature were also read
and adopted.
The Chaibman then enquired if there was any one ia
the room who wished to pay due* or become subscriber*,
when several gentlemen present recorded their name* on
the list, and paidintheirsuliscription*.
tit w as announced at tkeclese of the meeting, that $33
had beeo subscr.bed by (tenon* preieni.) .
The Chaik then asked il there wa* any gentleman pre
sent who wished to address the meeting, when Mr
Michacl T. O'Comnob, being loudly called for, came
forward, and *aid He would > leld to no one but it would
be hi* endeavour a* far as in him lay, to forward thu in
terest of the Irith Emigrant S ciety. Thi.t he wocld
yet se? it, and that at a day not far off; it would branch out
ol i's little nutshell. He would begtad to see every man,
woman, and child in Ireland, leave that country, and
come to the soil where they would have a land of liberty,
ani leave that of oppression and tyranny. (Great ap
plause.) He had for a.oag time looked forward to the
groat and glorious cause of the Repeal of the Union, and
though he did cot expect it to day or to morrow, or in ten
yea:*, still he waa as certain aahe stood in that room that
thegriatobject would, one day or another, be achieved.
(Applause.) He knew very well that il nothing else
would, the emigrating of the Irish piople to this country
would bo the means of cairying out the great object at
which he, ns un Irishman, looked forward with unspeak
able joy tnd satisfaction. (Oreat applause.)
Mr O'CoNicoit continued lor some time to declaim in a
strain of mo?t fi'rv invective against England, and to ex
press his "unspeakable'' desired fjr ''Repeal " Thunder*
efapplause were of course elicited, and the meeti-g moke
up, ail apparently, except the poor Secretary, having q iito
lot go'ten, in their admiration of the Repeal orator's elo
Jiuence, that they Lad met to promote the interest* of the
riendless, homeleis, povtriy stricken emigrant.

The broken have been call d upon for loans to a rrry
great extent, within the po?t week or two, and the banks
have beei. collecting together every dollar duo them that
was available, to strengthen their position in nuking
their report. The return day having arrived, and the
reports haviug been made out, those who have been 10
stricted in their operation*, by being compelled to return
the large sums borrowed ol the bank*, will in a few da) a
be provided with increased facilities to osrry on their

There is quite an active demand for sterling exchange,

Since the deptirturo of the G oat Western, there has
been a material alteration in quotations for the principal
Slate and other stocks. The public mind is highly ex
cited by the many rumors ol war ?fl at, and capitalists are
unsettled in the disposal of their idle funds. We ate a!,
most daily in tho receipt of news from Mex.oo, end it
must be admitted that the nature of the advices increasea
the probability of difficulties in some shapo, arising be
tween this country and that, which will tend to destroy
mueh of the commercial prosperity existing in fhia coun
try. The agitation of the Texts and Oregon questions
unsettles business generally, and oreatea a feverish state
of the stock market.
We ann?.x the prices currcnt at the close of opernt.'osa

So far at the value of ties-; stocks is concerned, the: ?
his since February bren an actual improvement, merely
by the accumulation of inte-est. Tho slight dsciin-. in
quotations for soma ol the best in the list, has no <ioubt
been produoed by the war lever raging at this moaaent
aa extensively. Meeting* have t*cpn called in Pailai'e!*
po!a to take iato consideration the statement! of the Sri.
ti*h >'.iniitry in r?Uti?n to Oregon, and we have no doubt
bat that as the same freling apreads through the country,
similar meetings will be held in all sections Waean.
not but look upon these movements as being prematnre(
aid attended wi'h muoh evil, aa they serve to destroy
confilonce, atid seriously injure the business operations
of ail elassts.
W? have the authority o( the Treasurer of the State of
Pennsylvania for atatiog, that the intereet doe on theSeate
dabt in August, can only be partially paid, when due, ia
c ah, aid that bills will be issued for the unpaid part, re
deemable oat of the Srst moneys which come iuto the
treasury. This settles the point at one*, and tbecredt*
tore ol the Stat* may as well make up their mludi that
only a fractional per cent of the amouut tnea due will be
paid In cash, and the balance sometime bet we >n the flrat of
August and the first of Fabrnary. The cordition cf the
treasury at thii moment is such that it is imposvibN to
teil how large a portion cf the two and a half percent
then due will be paid in cash, but should the receipts be
no larger for the last three months of the tern than they
haverbeen for the fl-st three, there will not be a balanoe iu
the treasury on the Ut of August more than large ercgh
to pay an eighth part ofthe amount due. The revsnua of
the Statu will ha limited until about the close of the next
tirm, and the Executive waa aware of this fict ?hen he
sjpgested to tke Legislature, last Jacuory, la asocial
meatage, that the aoundeet policy for the 8t<te to pursue,
under the nirennastanees of the case, was the part pay.
rnent of the lutereat then dne in caih The argumert'i Is
advanced in favor ol suah an arrai gcm nt wete unheeded,
and the irnesury was drained of evary dollar to pay the in*
terent on the funded debt only, leaving the interest on a
debt of more than lour millions of dollars tiopnid. The
amount ol funds in the treasury on tho 1st 01 February lest
?which was only sufficient to pay the interest on a part ?(
the deb'?had been accumulating lor many montha. Tba
treasury required replenishing to meat a oorreapondiug
d-mm d.at least in the ifmcaof six months, withont any
additional reionrcea than the gradual increaa* in the in
come from the publie works. The aaaonnt in thatm-ury
ontha 1st of February laat won Id have paid, with theim<)l
balance there will be on the lit of Angnat In ca?h, about
one and a quarter par oont of the two and a half due in Feb
ruary and August. Partiea are pretty equally divided, ant
of ?he State, aa to the houea y and eff ict of this policy, and
1 might be very questionable, were there not in tho per
spective additional aonrcea of revenue from which tho
government si the State ea<ioipated deriving a vary largo
sum annoelly. The lest legislsture paoeJ several law ? pro.
viding additional revanne, but the l?wi oonld no* bo en
